      I love all dutch swearing, as a microbiologist there is something particularly satisfying being able to tell somebody to ‘krijg de tyfus’ or to call somebody a ‘pleurislijer’

        Yeah the disease thing is weird and wild.

        It’s interesting which diseases are ok to swear with and not.

        Typhoid and cancer are ok, but cerebral palsy or aids aren’t.

            Oh yeah it is.

            I meant in context of Dutch swear words, though. It’s one of the most common swears, almost on the level of English fuck.

            In not saying fuck isn’t controversial in English as is one of the two words that have a ‘the F word’ status to refer to it without saying it. However it’s the most commonly used swear around.

            So that’s what I tried to say, but controversial was the only word that worked for me.
